Otherwise, I pretty much have
my Christmas shopping done.

will repaint

her business sign
out by the highway.

Passed.

- But I need that sign
for my bakery to do business.

- Ah, ah, ah! ASAP, Betty.

We want the holiday shoppers
visiting town to feel good

about Middleton.

It's all about the gracious,
traditional image

that we want to project.

But your slogan?

"Turn left for the best sticky
buns in the state?" Ugh.

- Well, they are.

- It's just so tacky.

After all, Middleton
is not a truck stop.

So, if there
is no further business...

everyone have a very merry
Christmas,

The happiest of holidays,

et cetera, et cetera,
and so forth.

This session of the Middleton
adjourned.League is hereby

Ooh!

- Have you thought
about my proposal?

About Cassie Nightingale.
the Citizen's League?

- [Laughing]: My dear Gwen,
I thought

you were joking!
- Oh, Martha.

- Oh hello, Mr. Mayor.

- Gwen.
- I love my new gavel!

A little present to myself.

- Martha, walk
with me a minute.

- Oh, well you'll have
to walk quickly.

I'm late
for my mani-pedi!

- Martha, this
isn't easy for me to say,

I just finished talking
with our business manager.

It's about our real estate
investments.

- What about them?
- They've failed.

- What do you mean?

- We've lost everything.
- Not the Orlando condo?

- Everything.

Martha, we're broke.
All our money is gone.

- How can that be?

- We're not destitute.

I still have my mayor's
salary. Our house.

But there'll have
to be some changes.

- Oh Tom, you know
how I hate changes.

- Well, for a start,
you have to get a job.

- A job?

What about
the Citizen's League?

- A paying job. Until we get
back on our feet.

- I don't understand.
How could this have happened?

- Oh, it's happened
to a lot of people.

We'll pull through.

We'll talk
more tonight, okay?

Oh, and Martha,

until further notice,
please do your own nails.

- I wonder if we're gonna get
a white Christmas this year.

- Hope not.
- How come?

- I mean, why waste
a perfectly good

snow day when we're going
to be off school anyway?

Think the stores will be open
after the movie?

- Maybe.

- I want to get my mom something
different this year.

Any ideas?
- A snow shovel?

- Hello Jake.
- Hi, honey.

- Hi. What
a nice surprise.

- Well, speaking of surprises,
I've got one for you.

Have a seat.
- Okay.

- I got
your Christmas gift.

- Jake, I already told
you - you don't

have to give me anything.
- No, you gave me this calendar,

and I've been looking at it,
deserves another, gift

so this is the most exciting
gift that I can imagine.

- Well, I could do with a little
excitement.

My bed and breakfast gets very
quiet over the holidays.

- Cassie, I want to give
you a family for Christmas.

- What do you mean?
- I mean let's get married.

- I think I already said yes.
- No. I mean now.

- Jake Russell, when did
you get so spontaneous?

- The day that I decided you
were the one for me.

- Oh. Maybe my personality
is rubbing off on you?

- Oh, come on. We've been trying
for months,te for this wedding

and something always gets
the excuse last time?

- Mercury in retrograde.

- Okay. Well the calendar
that you gave me says:

¿Christmas is the perfect time
to forge new partnerships

and initiate long term plans.
- Does it really say all that?

Hmm.

Jake, Christmas
is only seven days away.

- Not on Christmas.

On Christmas Eve!
in six days?ding together

- Well, we'll get
everybody to chip in.

- So little time,
so much fun.

- Cassie, I want you to
the family you've always wanted.

- We're going to put the
for you and the kidsmas

and George and on Christmas
one big, happy family!

- We have some news.

- We've finally set a date
for the wedding.

- When is it gonna be?
- Christmas Eve.

- That's great.
- That's...

- Yeah. Six days, I know.
- Is it gonna be at Grey House?

- I'm afraid Grey House is gonna
for all our guests.y

We wouldn't want
to leave anyone out.

- Uh can you get it together
that fast?

- We're gonna need
everyone's help.

Starting right now. Who wants
to help me do some baking?

- I do.

- How about
you, George?

- Uh I'm feeling
a little tired.

I think
I'll take a nap.

- It's gonna
be a perfect wedding.

A magical wedding.
Come on.

- I'm afraid we might
need more than magic.

I think we may
need a miracle.

- Well fortunately,
this is the season of miracles.

- Thank you. Well no, I tried
to object, Gwen,

but Martha can't tell
me what to paint

on my own sign.
Well I'm just about...

I'm gonna call you back later.

Hello, Martha. Coffee?

- Actually, that's
not why I'm here.

- Martha, I told
you I just can't afford

to repaint my sign.
- Whatever you think best.

- Okay. Then what
can I do for you?

- Betty, I've decided
to take a more...

hands-on approach
to helping our community.

- How do you mean?

- Well, I thought I could
start right here.

Perhaps as a hostess welcoming
people as they enter?

- Are you asking
me for a job?

- In a manner of speaking.

I simply thought that with
a little assistance.ht use

- You know, I might
have an opening.

Why don't you just let me talk
to Marty in the kitchen.

- In the kitchen?
Oh, no, no, no, no.

I thought something
perhaps that would

showcase my people skills,

such as a hostess!

Ugh.

- Leon Deeks was about
to rob that cash register...

until my wife threw
her hip into it.

- Martha stopped a robbery
with her hips?

- I hope you're not joking,
is no laughing matter.

- Uh, I'm aware

that Leon Deeks is back
- What are you doing about it?

- First of all, we're going

I'm keeping my eye on him.

I'm going up and down
the block, making sure

that all the shopkeepers
are being extra careful.

- Oh, no. Just, you know, better
to be safe than sorry.

Plus, it gets
me out of the office.

- Mm. And you can do your

you're buying for this year?

A young lady, perhaps?
- Ah I wish.

- You do? Hmm. How can I help
you with that?

- No I'm afraid I don't.

- Well, maybe I'll write
a letter to Santa.

- Now that's the spirit.
Oh, and Derek,

I need them back,

so I can cook
you up something new.

Come help

your money on that thing?

- Because it's Christmas.

Why don't you put

five years old.

With a lot of love.

A long time ago.

I'm gonna make this the biggest,
ever had.stmas our little girl

to run to the florist.

There's been a run on

problem than that.

and the BFW turned us down,

because they were booked 9
it'll all work out in the end.

- Cassie, it's not about
the marriage licence.

They have new
ID requirements,

and some of your records
don't exist.

had a checkered past.

and there's people gone

Cassandra Nightingale,re

we might have to postpone

Hello! Merry Christmas.

- Hello, Betty.
Can I help you?

- Um, I'm just looking.
know if you need anything.

- Okay.

What are you doing?

- Oh, people come into the store
so stressed this time of year.

A little incense helps lighten
the energy.

- You know, it smells really
familiar.

It almost smells like...
- Like what?

- Like my apple ginger pie.

But how is that even possible?

- Oh, you'd be surprised
at what's possible.

You know, I'm a big fan
of that pie of yours,

and about a dozen other things
on your menu. I was wondering

if, well, if you could
cater my wedding.

- When is your big day?
- Uh, Christmas Eve.

- Oh. That is a tall order.

But I'd love to.
you are this time of year.

- Yeah. This season it's always
until Christmas finally arrives

and then I can go home and relax
in my easy chair all day...

alone.

Oh wow.
Look how that sparkles.

- Oh yeah. I placed that there
to take advantage of the light.

Try it on.

- Me? Oh, no.

I uh I'm not really
the type to wear jewellery.

- Are you sure?

- You know, I should probably
get back to the bakeshop.

- Okay.

- Merry Christmas, Martha.
- What?

Oh yes,
I suppose it is.

- Oh, and be sure to send
as soon as you can.u

- I will. Hello, Martha.

- Miss Nightingale,

I have been in and out of every
shop on this street.

- Oh. Not one bag
to show for it.

- Oh I haven't been buying.
I've been...

I've been so busy...

with the Citizen's
Decorating Committee,mas

and oh! Of course,
the Heritage Society,

although, thank goodness,
that's winding down now

for the holidays.
I've been busy too.

I guess you heard the good news.
- The wedding? Congratulations.

- Thank you. I hope you can make
minute...w it's very last

- And Christmas Eve.
The Mayor and I have

several long-standing social
obligations. You understand.

- Well it would mean a lot
to me if you could be there.

You really know how to make
a party come alive, Martha.

- I do?

Yes, I suppose I do.

Huh.

¿Make a part"

- So can I count
you in, then?

- Leon!

- Jake Russel.

What, no back up?

Tough guy.

Can I talk to you?
- Yeah, go ahead. Talk.

- What are you doing
in Middleton?

- I'm visiting my family.

You remember,
the ones who have been

without a husband and a father
for the past 10 years?

Thanks to you.
- I didn't rob a bank.

They still
haven't found the money.

- I told them where I hid that
in Shelbyville.a warehouse

- It wasn't there.
- No?

It's not really the money that's
bothering you, is it Chief?

What's bothering you is the
family you destroyed: my family.

- You did
that on your own, Leon.

I was just doing my duty.

Don't give me a reason
to send you back there again.

- Don't worry about me, Jake.

Worry about yourself.

- Mom's been kinda wired lately.

Maybe something to help her,
you know, chill.

- The Spa in a Box.

Lavender bath oils,
relaxing facial

and magnetic stones to place
on her pressure points.

[Door bell tinkling]

- I've got it! I've got it!

- Got what, Martha?
The Christmas spirit?

- No, no, no, no.
My new career.

I am going to be a personal
wedding planner,

and you are
my very first client!

- Well, that is very thoughtful
of you, Martha.

- I'll handle it all:
music, menu,

colour scheme, theme,

from your--wait for it--12
drummers drumming,

to your partridge
in a pear tree.

- That sounds like you have some
very big plans.

- Well they have to be big.
I expect potential clients

to take notice and hire
me for future events.

Now for the seven
swans a-swimming,

I was thinking
ice sculptures.

- You know, I don't want
to dampen your enthusiasm,

but how much
is this going to cost?

- Not a penny. I intend
on working gratis.

It's only fair.
It is my vision, after all.

- Well I have a vision too,
a meeting of the minds.

- Well, then you need to make
some decisions immediately.

Luckily,
I brought swatches.

By the way,
I would keep my eye on her,

if I were you. I believe
she's Leon Deeks' daughter,

if you know what I mean.

[Door jingling]

- Hey, guys.
- Hi Lori.

- Cassie,

dad wants you to sign these so
he can get the marriage license.

Something about permission

to search
for your birth records.

Getting married
sure is complicated.

- It takes so many people
to make it all come together.

Lori, would you look
after this?

This is the ring your father's
gonna give me in the ceremony.

It belonged to my mother.
- It's beautiful.

- Yeah it's one of the few
things I have of my mother's.

So I need you to take very good
care of it until the wedding.

- You can count on me.

- Oh in that case, would you
watch the store for one minute?

I've got to run down
and pick up my wedding dress.

- Dress?
Ooh it has to be white.

It can't be off white.

We can't have you clashing
with the ice sculptures.

- Okay!

- She acts like
she's the one getting married.

- Okay.

I think my mom's really
gonna like this.

- Speaking of gifts, what are we
gonna Get Cassie for Christmas?

- I don't know.
She's so amazing.

The gift has to be amazing too.

- Yeah.

Hey Jodi, any ideas
for my new...?

Step mom...?
- Where'd she go?

- She must have stepped out.

- Brandon! Where's the ring!

- Beats me.

- I left it right
here on the counter.

- It's gotta
be here some place, okay?

- Where? It couldn't just
disappear!

- Lori.
- We've got to find it.

- What are we gonna tell Cassie?
- We're not gonna tell Cassie.

She's got enough on her mind.

- Yeah. Brandon.

- Brandon? What's wrong?

- Well, I lost Cassie's
wedding ring.

- You, you did?

- And I think Brandon's friend
Jodi knows where it is.

- Why would she know?

- Because she was right next
to it when it disappeared

and I never said she stole it.

I just wanted to talk to her
like I hate her or somethingts

and I don't hate her,

but what if she does have
the ring? I need to get it back.

- Okay. All right.
What did Cassie say?

- Oh, you can't
tell Cassie.

- All right. Well,
I'll talk to Brandon.

- Well, maybe
he'll listen to you.

He sure doesn't
listen to me.

- All right.
It's gonna be okay.

You go home. Okay?
Your dad's got work to do.

we'll find it?

it our best shot.

That is what you were looking
at, wasn't it?

- Uh yeah. Yeah.
- Here. Take a whiff.

Very popular with family men.

The women in their lives
just love it.

Oh, that's not for sale.

It's for the Santa who rings
the bell outside my shop.

- I don't see him.
Where is he now?

- Oh Carl's got
a touch of the flu.

The children's fund is gonna
miss out on all those donations.

- Yeah, well things are tough
all over.

- I'm surprised you never
noticed Santa before.

Especially since you spend so
much time in this part of town.

- I've been out walking around
and window-shopping.

I've got a lot of time
on my hands these days.

- You know,
with all that extra time,

why don't you make good use of
it? All the kids will love you.

- You gotta be kidding.

- It would be a wonderful
way to show people you care.

And since you'd be right
pop in anytimeould

and warm up with
a cup of my mulled cider.

- Wonder if it fits?

- Looking at you,
I would say it's a perfect fit.

as I finish this level.

Christmas ornament for Jodi.

Just what I need.

with your sister?

- She accused Jodi
of being a thief.

she never said a word to Jodi.

- She was going to. I guess
Lori thinks that just because

Jodi's dad robbed a bank,
it runs in the family.

- Well, Lori's very upset.
About the ring, and you.

And Brandon, Jodi was right
it disappeared.g when

- You know, the whole
town's against her.

They think she's some
sort of gangster.

I expect this from Martha
my own father.from

- Brandon?

- Later.
- Hey, Brandon.

- Hi.
this isn't the best time.

- No. There's no time
like the present.

- All right. Well, uh...

I have the flow
of the ceremony.

I have to get a copy of this
to the minister, except...

- Except what?
trouble finding one.

- Sometimes I wonder if all
this is going to work out.

- Oh, it will. Trust me.
We'll find a minister.

And a venue
and we'll get our license.

- No, not that, Cassie.

I've got Brandon mad at me.

He's fighting with his sister.

Lori's upset.

And George... he's feeling like
away from us all.get

I just wanna give everyone
a family Christmas.

- It's hard to have
a family Christmas

when you don't have a happy
family to celebrate it.

Bye. Thank you!

Wow. So many gifts.

- Well, it is a wedding
shower, right?

- Betty, I just,
I can't thank you enough.

- No. Wait 'til you
try your wedding cake.

Oh that reminds me.
You're gonna have to sample

some of that sparkling wine
before I order it.

- You know Betty, um...

every woman deserves
a little sparkle in her life.

I want you to have this.

- A gift?
Cassie, I couldn't.

- Oh, look at all those gifts.
You deserve one too.

- It is pretty but it's not
really my style.

- Well, I tell you what.
Try it for a few days,

and if you don't like it,
I'll exchange it.

- Well, you don't
have to do that.

- Customer satisfaction
is my priority.

- Well, if you insist.

I'll go get the wine.
- Okay.

- Yoohoo.

Seasons greetings.

Oh! Well fashionably
late, as usual.

- Martha,
you shouldn't have.

- What? Oh. I didn't.
Your gift is on backorder.

Voila.

Partridges
in a pear tree.

- Wow. Do we need that?

- Oh! We need several of them.
One for each table.

- Oh, even the menu
isn't that grand, Martha.

- Yeah, Betty's right.
I ordered comfort food.

- Oh. Weddings aren't about
comfort, for goodness sake.

If they were, people would be
getting married all the time!

Oh! I ordered your cake.
Five tiers!

- Oh uh, Betty
is doing the cake.

- Oh. Really? What kind?

- Well, we decided perhaps
a yellow sheet cake.

- Sheet cake?

Oh my dear Betty,

Cassie's cake has to be at least
Am I right?the pear trees,

- Why don't we let Betty
do the cake?

- I see. Well it's your funeral.
Oops. I mean wedding.

- Martha, I so appreciate
all you've done.

- Do you? Do any of you?

I had a vision.

Nine ladies dancing.
Eight lords a leaping

and a sheet cake would just
compromise the entire affair.

I mean,
who would hire me

after that got around?

No, I'm afraid that
I am going to have to bow out.

- I'm sorry
to hear that, Martha.

- Well I couldn't
have attended anyway.

I have a previous engagement.

- Ho, ho, ho.

- Oh. You're feeling jolly
as well huh?

- How can we have
a Merry Christmas

if everyone's so miserable?
- Everybody?

- Well, in my family, anyway.
- Including you?

- Guess so.
- Why?

- Because I don't have the...

A dress -- for the wedding.

The one I wanted
was too small.

- Why don't we have
it let out?

We're all constantly growing,
aren't we, Lori?

- Yeah. What's, what's the rate
on that room?

That much. Nothing lower?

I thought
for some reason rooms

would be lower in Montreal.

I guess not. Thanks.

Brandon. I didn't hear
you come in.

- Montreal?

- Yeah a friend of mine
has a restaurant up there.

- Cool.

- I thought I'd go...

For a visit.

A long visit.

- Hello?
I'm Cassie Nightingale.

We spoke on the phone?
- Oh, of course. Please come in.

- Thanks. So rumour has it

you're the best seamstress
in all of Middleton.

- Well, thank you.
- I have a little emergency.

Uh, can you let
this out two inches?

- It's very
delicate material.

- Is there enough fabric?
- Let me see. Yes. I can do it.

- You're a lifesaver.

- Listen, I know I have this
colour thread upstairs.

If you want to wait,
it'll only take a few minutes.

- Perfect.
yourself at home.ke

- All right. Thanks.

- Dad?

Oh, sorry.

I heard voices
and thought...

- No, it's just me. Your mom's
fixing a dress for me.

She's gonna
love that Spa In A Box.

- Oh yes. You know what?
something the other day.

- A coin?

- It's a gift.

- A dollar. Thanks.

- It's a silver dollar.

- Is it worth more
than a regular dollar?

- Well, that depends
on how you spend it.

- Oh ho ho ho ho.

Merry Christmas, Middleton.

Merry Christmas!
Oh ho ho ho.

That's the spirit.
A prosperous New Year to you!

And to all of us.

- It's only two days
don't know what to get ya.

- That's okay.
- I was gonna make you

this Christmas ornament,
but... pretty lame, huh?

- Brandon, I'm sure I'd
if it came from you.hing

- Yeah, but what
do you really want?

- I uh don't think

there's much chance
want for Christmas.lly

- Ho, ho, ho!
Happy Holidays to you!

- Got any change?

- Oh, uh just this.

- Nice coin.
What's it worth?

- A dollar.

Maybe it's worth
something. I don't know.

Maybe it'll make somebody have
a better Christmas than me.

Merry Christmas, Santa.

- Jodi?

- Mommy, there's Santa!
Can we please say hi to Santa?

- What a sweet family.

- Merry Christmas, Santa.

- Merry Christmas.
- Thanks, Santa. See ya.

- Bye, Santa!
- Merry Christmas, Santa!

- Merry Christmas.

- Yes I'm making truffles
for the wedding guests,

so if you could
just double that order--

Yes, I know
it is a lot of chocolate

but as I always say,

you can never have too much
love or chocolate.

Oh, thank you so much.
Hello, Derek.

Keeping our streets safe?

- Thanks to you.

Getting Leon in a Santa suit.
How did you manage to do that?

- Never underestimate

the magic of Santa.

- I have your pie plates.

- Oh. How'd
you like the mince pie?

- Loved it!

Well, I'm ready
for my next treat.

[Door opening]

- Evening, ma'am.

- Oh, Deputy,

- Betty?

- Um, listen.
I wanted to ask you

about your cake. Which frosting?
- Beautiful.

- Oh, yes it's gonna be
beautiful,

but I want to know which
flavour.

- No, I meant you.

- Oh! Well, thank you. You know,

- Thank you, Derek.

Um I'm gonna go back
to my bakeshop.

- Oh, I'll uh... I'll walk you.
- Okay.

- Say, what are you doing
Christmas Day?

- Cassie, you're really doing
a good job with those.

- Thank you.

Thanks.

- I got our wedding license.

- What?
That's terrific. Really?

How?

- I just told the county clerk
that you'd been paying

state and federal taxes
Nightingale for years,dra

and that if it was good enough
for the Internal Revenue Service

then who are
they do say otherwise?

- Brilliant.
We're on a roll.

Now all we have to do it figure
out a place to have the wedding.

- Well what happened
to the Garden Club?

- Well they won't let us use
their solarium

for the wedding. Something
about the body heat

from the guests
- That's ridiculous.

- Well they've got a point.

You and I have a way
of raising the temperature

all by ourselves.

Jake, lighten up.

- Sorry, it's just...

It's Christmas. Everything's
for the holidays.closed

- Well not to worry.
I have a plan.

- Yeah, you always do.

- I also have our minister.

He's happy to drive
down from Lakeville.

Apparently he and George
go way back.

- Yeah, George.

He's talking about
moving to Montreal.

He's got a friend
that owns a restaurant there.

- What? You and the kids
have to get together

and figure out a way
to talk him out of it.

- Cassie,
we're not even talking.

Well I've got
to get back to work.

- Why don't you stop for a cup
to keep warm.your way

- What? What's
that smile about?

- I just remembered that I'm
marrying you on Christmas Eve.

- Just a coffee please...

Betty.

- Just the usual,
Chief Russell?

- Yes. Yes.

Well is this seat taken?

- It is now, I guess.

- Brandon, you can't
still be mad at me.

- Why not? You still think
Jodi's a thief.

- I never said that.

- It's tough on Jodi.
She has such a big heart.

She hides it

'Cause she has this rep
around school.

Because her dad
was in prison.

- You know, I was beginning
very close-minded.were

But you're not, not when
it comes to your friend.

- She's funny
and fun, you know?

The things she says, the way she
dresses... she's different.

In a good way.

That's why I like
her so much.

- Who does that remind you of?
- Huh?

- Your friend, Jodi. She sounds
that I'm gonna marry. woman

For all the same reasons.

Christmas special?

- Mm hmm.

They top it with red
and green sprinkles.

- Ah. Well you let
me pay for that.

- Cassie already did.

- Really?

- Yeah. She sent me down here,
said I deserved a treat.

- So what brings you here,
George?

- My feet.

I was just out for a long walk

and I thought
I'd knock on your door.

Is, is this herbal tea?

- No, something stronger.
Irish Breakfast.

- Oh. How'd you guess
paying you a visit?d be

I always feel welcome here.

- Grey House, hmm.
Dear old Grey House.

- Something wrong, Cassie?

- Well it's
just an old house

and it needs a lot of TLC.
It's a big responsibility.

- Ah, you're up to it.

- After the wedding, Jake and
I will be staying at his house

and I can't be
two places at once.

- Are you sure?
- Now, George...

Yeah, running a B and B is...

it's a hands on job.

And half the time,
I won't be here.

I want to hold
on to Grey House,

but... but without the B and B
income, I'm not so sure anymore.

Ah, but I've been doing all the
on your mind?is there something

- No. Nothing.

It's funny how a long walk

sometimes will
clear your mind.

- Another cup of coffee, Chief?

- No thanks.

- Are you sure?
You look a little tired.

- I'm fine.
working overtime?

- Yeah.
here almost every day.

- Yeah. That's right.

- Except tomorrow ¢cause
you're getting married.

- I got that covered too, Leon.

- Yeah I bet you do.

Well, we'll see
you around huh?

Ho ho ho ho. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.
Ho ho ho.

Thank you very much.
Merry Christmas to you.

- I've got the dress.
It's all fixed up

and ready for the big night.

- Oh. Thanks.

- It's not about
the dress, is it?

Lori, you can
tell me anything.

- I don't have the ring!

I lost it. You gave
it to me. You trusted me

and I let you down.

- Oh honey, no tears.

- But you told me it belonged
to your mother.

You said it was all you had left
from your old family.

- I have my memories,

and those can never be lost.

And now I have
my new family too.

So let me tell you something
about that old ring.

It has
a mind of its own.

- Huh?
- I've misplaced it

before, and that ring always
finds its way back to me.

- Oh, hello Miss Nightingale.
- Hello Martha.

- If you've come to ask me back,
I'm afraid--

- Well I didn't
come for that.

I was wondering if you had those
you showed me?s that

- I might.

- I was ordering tablecloths
of ivory...as this one shade

- Oh yes, here it is.
- Oh yes.

- What on earth is this?

- My ring.

- How did
it get in there?

- Oh. Well what matters is you
found it, Martha. Thank you.

- Heavens.
That day in your shop,

I emptied my purse
on your counter,

and after I swept everything
up again I must have...

I feel just terrible.

You're not angry?

- Of course not.

- I suppose I shouldn't have
quit on you like that.

Leaving you high and dry
at the very last minute.

Oh! I had had such
planned for the two of you.

- I know. That's why
I recommended you

to a wealthy client who's
getting married in the spring.

- You did?
- You have such energy, Martha,

and enthusiasm! You're bursting
with creative ideas.

And I think
the job pays well too.

- What a lovely,
unexpected gesture.

- Why unexpected?

- Well, for you to think
of me after all that I...

- Well it is the season where we
think of others first. Don't we?

- I don't know what to say.

- I know you and the mayor have
other plans for Christmas Eve,

but the invitation
is still open.

- After all that I've done?

- Ah, but there's so much more
to do, isn't there?

Well, if your plans change,
we'd love to see you there.

Merry Christmas, Martha.

- And to you.

- Brandon!

Cassie found her ring!

- That's good.

So now you must
feel just great.

- Pretty good. Not great.

- Why not?
Jodi behind your back.

Maybe I should have just told
you what was bothering me?

- That's what big brothers
are for, right?

- You're more than my brother,

right? You're my friend.
Aren't you?

- Yeah. Yeah, I am.

Maybe I didn't act like
one though.

Sorry.

- Look at you. Wow.

Here you go.

- Thanks.
- Where's Jodi?

- Oh I'm gonna go get her.

I hope she has

- Never say never.

- Where are you going?

- Oh, down to the shop.

- Don't you have
a wedding to get to?

- Yeah I forgot my sage.

- Jodi and I could get it.
- Would you?

- Yeah. It's on the way.

- Oh, thanks! All right. Just
a small bunch of dried sage.

I wanna burn a little
before the ceremony.

Clear the air.
Make way for new beginnings.

Here you go.

- Cassie, about your cake.
I am so sorry.

Um it was in the back
of my van and unfortunately,

so was my neighbour's daschund.

- Oh, no.
ate the entire thing!

Now, I am trying to get you
another one,

but I'm totally sold out,
and every other bakery

from here to the state capital
closed at noon.

- Betty, put it out of your
the other items on your menu.

- No, but it's your wedding
cake. What will we do?

- Well, the first
thing to realize

is that baking is about mixing
together the right ingredients.

- I have no idea
what you're saying.

- Then look at it this way:

You just brought great joy
to a daschund this Christmas.

- Hello?
- Hello, George?

- Um, do you have cake mix?

- Cake mix--I'll have
to check. Why?

- Well I need a wedding cake
for thirty five guests

in um... Two hours.

Uh... George?

- I'm here. A little shocked,
but I'm still standing.

- Maybe Lori could help
you move things along.

I'm counting on you two.
on your finger... ring

- Okay.
- Great.

- Do you know
how to tie one of these?

George?

Are you there?
Was that Cassie?

- Yeah. Yeah, it was.

- What did she want?

- A miracle.

[Phone ringing]

- Derek?

- Chief, I found Leon's car,
but I can't find him.

- Okay. Stay on Main Street,

stay with the car. As long as
you have the car,

he's not going anywhere.

You got it?
- Copy that, Jake.

- No cake mix?

- Even if we had all
the ingredients,

there's not enough time.

but don't forget, you've got

- So what are you gonna do?

- Beats me.

[Phone ringing]

- Derek? Oh. Yeah, hi.

How are you?

Really?

You don't have
any other way to--

No, it's not your fault, no.

Merry Christmas.

- I hate to ask.

- That was the minister. His car
way to get here.as no other

- Maybe Derek could shoot
up there in the squad car.

- No Derek's on duty. And even
an hour,uld drive 100 miles

it's a round trip. He'd still
never make it on time.

- Well, ask people to wait.
these cookies.erve them

- Oh honey, we can't
do that to people.

Not on Christmas Eve.

What good
is a marriage license

if we don't have a minister
to tie the knot?

- Robert Kowalski
and Teresa Quinn?

- Who?
- Who?

- The names
on your wedding license.

- Well they must have given
me the wrong one.

I've been so busy I didn't
even bother to open it.

- Jake--
The wedding is off.

- No! It can't be.

- I'll have to speak to Cassie.

You know, this would
I've ever broken to her.

- [Brandon]: This will
- [Jodi]: Oh, no problem.

- She said a small
bunch of dried sage,

hanging from the ceiling.

- Um, don't most people usually
hang mistletoe?

- Cassie says it makes
way for new beginnings.

- I wish my family could
make a new beginning.

- What do you mean?

- You're so lucky to have your
family and a dad like Jake.

I used to. When I was little,
ten years ago.

- You remember that far back?

- Like it was yesterday.
Me and my dad, laughing.

I'd stand on his shoes, and
he'd waltz me around the room.

I keep those memories up here.
Locked away, like treasure.

I take them out
at night before I go to bed.

That's how
I remember him so well.

- Do you want
to go to the party now?

- Sure.

- Cassie.

- Jake, don't you know it's bad
the wedding?the bride before

- I know.

Honey, we can't
get married.

[Door opening]
- Greetings!

- Martha, Tom.
So glad you made it.

- Uh, there's something
I have to tell you.

We've run into some
roadblocks, and I'm afraid--

- Ah yes, the wedding.
- What's, what's this?

- I got a call from my friend
about a mix-up.ffice

So Martha and I ran over
to straighten it out.

- Our wedding license!
- They want to know

if, by any chance, they gave you
a different licence.

Because there is a very
Kowalski in Lakeville

who want to get married two days
after Christmas.

- Well, we can send it with the
minister after our ceremony.

- Uh, the minister
can't make it.

- Why?
- Car trouble.

So even if we have this
license, I don't see...

- Well you don't but I do.

I'll get someone to marry you.
- In the next five minutes?

- My dear, I happen to have...
Connections.

- Me?
- Well yes, you.

By the power vested in you,
etcetera, etcetera.

Why not?
- Well it's been awhile.

- Well mayor,
you can take those.

I know what I want to say.

- Martha, thank you.
Thank you for everything.

- Everything?
Whatever do you mean?

- Well, you got us our license,
our officiate,

and the venue.

Do you remember when you told me
that the Heritage Society

was winding down
for the holidays?

You really are a great wedding
planner, Martha!

- Well anyway,

it's time for you two to start
your new life together.

- Jake, would you escort
our guests?

- With pleasure.

- Cassie did a wonderful job.
It's a beautiful room.

[Pachebel's Canon ]

***

- Who gives this woman
to be married to this man?

- I do.

- Dear friends and family,
we are gathered here today

to witness the loving union of
Nightingalel and Cassandra

in the sacred bond
of marriage...

Jake, please place the ring
on Cassie's finger.

- Cassie, with this ring,
and ever will be.at I am

With this ring,

I thee wed.

- Cassie, please put
the ring on Jake's finger.

- As I place this ring
on your finger,

I give you all that I am
and ever will be.

With this ring, I thee wed.

- At this time,
Jake and Cassie would

like to say their own vows
to each other.

- Cassie, not long ago
you came into my life,

and nothing has been
the same, since.

Words can't easily

express all
that you've given me.

In fact, I can only think
of one: magic.

I love you.

- Jake,

you gave me a home
when I had none.

A home in your heart.

And you gave me a family

when I had none.

And I will love
and cherish them

as I will love
and cherish you.

It doesn't take
a crystal ball to know

that you and I will be each
and joy.strength and hope

And this is
my promise to you:

a love that's
never gonna end.

- With the authority invested
in me as mayor of Middleton,

it gives me great pleasure to
pronounce you husband and wife.

Jake, you may kiss your bride.

[Applause]

- I've got something
to show you.

- Is this a wedding cake?
- It's a cookie cake.

I took all the baked
goods on hand,

and Lori and I used icing to
hold it all together.

- Oh, George.
What would we do without you?

- Cassie, what
if I stayed here?

- In Middleton?
That would be great, George!

- Not just Middleton.
In Grey House.

I could run the place.

- What an interesting idea.

- Well, I got it from you.
- Did you really?

- Yeah when you said you
couldn't be in two places

at... once.

- You know, it's a big job.

- I could use a big job
right now.

- On one condition.
You wouldn't

do all the work alone.
We'd be equal partners.

If you'll excuse me,

I need to welcome
all my guests.

Won't you come in?

- How'd you know
I was out here?

- Well, you weren't
in there,

so I thought maybe
you were out here.

- Yeah, well I came to get
my little girl.

- Family is a very powerful
isn't it?s time of year,

- I don't exactly
have a family anymore.

- Leon, where there's love,
there's family.

You don't have
to keep running.

Come in from the cold
whenever you're ready.

- Thank you, Betty.
- You're welcome.

- Isn't she a lovely bride?

- Hope I'm not
late for dinner.

- Gwen?
- Hello, George.

- I thought only Cassie
popped up like this.

- I brought my daughter
me for a visit.en with

They've never seen snow.

But now the weather station says
no snow this Christmas.

0 Well they're wrong. Cassie's
forecast is for snow, tonight.

- Well, I hope she's right.
- You can bet on it.

Is snow the only reason
you came back?

- You're the only reason
I needed, George.

- I guess you haven't heard,
but after the honeymoon,

I'm moving into Grey House.

- Really, George?

- It's a big house.
- I know.

- Lots of room.
- Yes. Yes, there is.

- It can use some
of my Irish hospitality.

- No doubt.

- There we go.

- Excuse me.

I wanted to give you this.
It's all there.

The money from
the Shelbyville bank job.

It was hidden under
the floor of your shop.

- Cassie's shop?

- Well, it wasn't a shop
when I stashed it there.

It was just
an abandoned building.

- Okay. This isn't exactly
the right time or place.

- No, it is the time.

¢Cause I want my little girl
to see me do it.

I had a plan
to win Jodi back,

I figured I could convince
with her dad,ay and live

but then I realized

that you
can't buy love.

And I don't want
to run anymore.

- So how do we know this isn't
just another con?

- It's not a crime
to return the money.

And Leon has done his time.

- I know I've made some
big mistakes, all right?

And I know it's going to take
me again,everybody to trust

but I'm going
to stay right here,

and do whatever it takes.

Because I want
that second chance.

I want a family again.

Jodi, I've never had anything
but love for you.

And I know
how much I hurt you.

I saw the hurt in your eyes

the other night when you dropped
the silver dollar off for Santa.

You were watching that family
on the street, weren't you?

A happy family.

And that's all you really want
for Christmas.

Not this...

money.

You said it yourself, angel,
I was a good guy once.

So can you let
me be that guy again?

A second chance.

- I guess a second chance
is worth a try.

- Jake!

I put a lock on his car. He
can't go anywhere,

but he's...

He's right here.

- Yep.

- Uh Chief, does this mean
I'm off duty now?

- Well Derek, you put
this in lock-up

and then
do whatever you want.

- So what do you say

we get an early start
on that Christmas date?

- I'll save you a seat
at dinner tonight.

- Would this be a good time
to say Merry Christmas?

- Ooh it's gonna be a very merry
morningas because tomorrow

I'm gonna wake
up with my family.

- Do you know the moment
that I fell in love with you?

It was when I first saw
you come down your stairs.

- Well it took me a little
longer to fall in love with you.

It was when I reached
the bottom of my stairs.

- Of course, I didn't know
what I was in for.

- Well, you still don't.

- Cassie!

You are a bundle
of Christmas surprises.

- Well, there's a lot more
where that came from.

- Really?
- Mmm hmm.

- Oh. Look, it's snowing, just
like Cassie said it would.

- How did-?

- Magic happens.
